Power User Access and more!


laurent.balagué

Hello everyone,

I know many of you were waiting for this since we launched the project, it happened finally today: you can now give Power Users access to Insights! 

  • A dedicated PU permission has been added so that you can choose which PUs can view and/or create dashboards
  • A new feature within Insights allows you to assign dashboards, to specific PU profile(s) or to specific Power User(s). Only the dashboards that you assign will be visible for these PUs. You can assign either a standard dashboard or a custom dashboard that you have created yourself
  • Automatically each dashboard viewed by a Power User will be restricted based on the user assigned resources
  • Please check the dedicated KB article for more details 

The ‘dashboard assigning’ feature is by the way a first sharing capability that also allows you to share a custom dashboard with the other Super Admin users.

Finally, thanks to the great work of our AWS QuickSight partner, the Visual Library experience has also been improved, with a simplified User Experience.

We hope that these evolutions will satisfy you, and will allow to deploy analytics at scale with your stakeholders. We would love to continue hearing from you! Either about how you are using Insights or about what should be our next priorities.

The project continues, thank you all for your active participation to this launch!

This is great, thanks! We added the PU permission, as well as shared the featured dashboards to the power users.

 

However, when they go into those featured dashboards they get an error and a link that leads to AWS:

@JZenker Do the PU’s have access to the courses and users in your dashboards?

Yes, they do have branch and course visibility at the PU level - the error seems to be coming from AWS rather than Docebo

This is great, but the dashboards don’t populate anything for a power user. 

“You can’t access this visual because the data is restricted”

I think I know the answer - but I am going to ask anyway.

Is it possible for a superadmin to create a dashboard and assign it to the power user with the data  prefiltered for courses or users, irrespective of the resources assigned to the power user?

I didn’t see any setting for that in the KB - just says ensure they have PU visibility setup, and then you can share custom or featured dashboards. 


Yayyy!! It’s finally here, thank you everyone for all the amazing work. We are looking forward to using it.

Fantastic!  And perfect timing: I just finished setting up our custom dashboards yesterday afternoon 😄

Hi @JZenker @chadrobb4 
Please check that Power Users have the proper ressources assigned as described here. Typically to view data from the course enrollment dashboard, you need users and courses assigned. 
Also, when you change the resources assigned to a PU, this will take 24h to show in Insights because of the daily refresh cycle.

 

@lhubbard at this stage, only Advanced Insights (premium version with full authoring mode) allows to pre-filter a dashboard or a visual before sharing it.

@JZenker just tested with a PU and they can see a dashboard I created and assigned to them...As mentioned above, please recheck the PU’s access to the data sources in your dashboards.

Ah its working now, they were new resources I had assigned to the power user and it takes some time to sync. Thanks!

@JZenker How long did the sync take after you assigned new resources?
